1) Witch is a psychedelic rock / zamrock band formed in 1971 in Kitwe, Zambia. This five-piece electric band plays a strong electric African underground style. Tons of wah wah-fuzz guitar in every track, African style beats and vocals and all original songs.
2) Witch is a group born in 2005 from a marriage of apparently contradictory influences. J Mascis, renown as the vocalist, songwriter and guitarist of Dinosaur Jr. (and Heavy Blanket, Upsidedown Cross) and his long time friend Dave Sweetapple (Sweet Apple, Cobra Verde) were interested in forming a hard rock band. They found willing and able conspirators in Kyle Thomas (King Tuff) and Asa Irons, both also members of New England avant-folk outfit Feathers. This line-up mounts a mighty sonic tumult that harkens back to classic heavy metal sound of early 1970s outfits while still sounding modern in it's assault (and without falling into the ubiquitous "Stoner Rock" pigeonhole). Instead of clinging to his forte, the electric guitar, J Mascis instead plays his first instrument, the drums. Witch's trademark sound (particularly in their early work) shows obvious Black Sabbath influence and moments of Black Flag has also been noted for their sophomore effort, Paralyzed.
3) Witch is a duo formed in 1980 by S. Joplin Babashoff and The Bird (later joined by guitarist Gloonis Botnik to create a trio). Over the past 26 years, Witch has recorded and released over 15 albums.
4) Witch was an American heavy metal band formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, CA. They released the cult classic EP "The Hex Is On" in 1984. Members included Punky Peru (drums, vocals), Ronny Too (guitar, vocals), Peter Wabitt (lead vocals) and Jim Warmon (bass, vocals).
5) Witch is a Japanese female singer / songwriter. Circle: Sound CYCLONE.
Feeling High
Witch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see time stand
Out you run
As they play, though
As well as defending all the day
Girl of clouds
Falling down
Girl of clouds
Feeling High upstairs
Coming down the stairs
Know there's something
You're about to bring up
And when night falls
Your face is right on my door
Oh, yeah
Feeling High upstairs
Coming down the stairs
Feeling good with your love
You have brought me your love
Now I can love
Feeling High
Feeling High
Feeling High
Feeling High
I got your love
The Witch's song "Feeling High" is a psychedelic rock track that speaks to the experience of being under the influence of drugs, likely hallucinogens. The chorus, "Feeling high, feeling high, feeling high, feeling high, I've got your love," suggests that the singer has found a state of euphoria through the use of drugs, and that this state is associated with the presence of a lover.
The imagery of the lyrics is abstract and surreal, emphasizing the disorienting effect of the drugs. The line "Girl of clouds falling down" suggests a hallucination, while the repeated reference to stairs and coming up and down them conveys a sense of disorientation and uncertainty. The line "Know there's something you're about to bring up" suggests that the singer is anticipating some kind of revelation, but it is unclear what this might be.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of disorientation and confusion, but also of joy and transcendence through the use of drugs. The ambiguous lyrics leave much to the listener's interpretation and allow the song to be enjoyed on multiple levels.
